Re: Is modification to a COTS part allowed?

Well...

The COTS item is still a COTS item. However, the whole thing is now a Fabricated Item (by means of assembly) and thus no longer COTS (unless it was sold as a COTS assembly, for example a wheel and hub sold as one unit). However, if you took the two items apart, they would be COTS again.
